Guess Who is a 2005 romantic comedy film starring Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac, and Zoe Saldana. The movie is a loose remake of the 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" and tells the story of a young interracial couple and their journey in attempting to gain the approval of their soon-to-be in-laws. The film centers around Simon Green, played by Kutcher, a successful white corporate executive who has fallen in love with Theresa Jones, played by Saldana, a smart and ambitious black woman who works as a local artist. Theresa invites Simon to spend a weekend with her parents, Percy and Marilyn Jones, played by Bernie Mac and Judith Scott respectively, to celebrate her parents' 25th wedding anniversary.

However, Simon is hesitant to accept the invitation, as he knows that her parents do not know that he is white, and he worries about how they may react. In an attempt to avoid any awkwardness, Simon decides to paint himself as the perfect man for their daughter, including learning how to play the piano, speaking fluent Mandarin, and covering up a tattoo on his arm.

When Simon finally meets Theresa's parents, he is greeted with suspicion and skepticism. Percy, Theresa's father is a tough, no-nonsense man who takes an immediate dislike to Simon. He is distrustful of Simon’s intentions towards his daughter and refuses to accept him into the family.

As the weekend goes on, Simon tries his best to win over Percy and Marilyn, but it seems that he can do nothing right. Meanwhile, Theresa is stuck in the middle of the argument and tries to keep the peace between her family and Simon.

As the film progresses, Simon and Percy find common ground in their love for classic TV shows and movies, and they begin to form a friendship. However, this newfound bond is tested when Percy discovers that Simon has lied to him about certain facts regarding his professional life.

The climax of the film takes place during the anniversary party when Simon, with the help of Theresa, attempts to show Percy his true intentions and win his approval. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as Percy finally recognizes the love and respect that Simon has for his daughter.

Guess Who is a heartwarming comedy that addresses important themes of love, race, and family. The chemistry between the cast is excellent, and the performances are solid. Bernie Mac, in particular, shines as the stubborn but loving father who ultimately learns to accept his daughter's partner.

The film was a box office success, grossing over $100 million worldwide. It received mixed reviews from critics and was criticized for its predictable storyline and reliance on cliches. However, audiences enjoyed the movie for its humor, warmth, and positive message.

In conclusion, Guess Who is a charming and entertaining movie that deals with important social issues in a lighthearted way. It showcases the importance of love and acceptance in overcoming issues of race and culture. The film is a must-watch for anyone looking for an enjoyable romantic comedy.

Guess Who is a 2005 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 46 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.9 and a MetaScore of 49.
